After hearing a few tunes from their streamer and some vinyl thrown in for good measure I decided to pull the trigger on the Luxman. I am now discovering my collection all over again....Great!”

“Hi John, The speakers arrived earlier this afternoon and my wife and I were able to do some A/B comparisons. The Mirage M790s may have a bit more bass but otherwise the 25.23is sound really good. We noticed that on a few scenes/audio tracks there was a lot more that we’ve been missing sonically. I was impressed too in how well they came packaged and they are in excellent shape for a store demo pair. It’s great they came ‘as advertised’. Thank you! ”

Home electronics come in a wide variety of brands, configurations and applications and not all of them are suitable for service and repair. Several factors such as age, parts availability or technical information make it next to impossible to repair them. Therefore we reserve the right to qualify items for service and repair based on these reasons.
